The Brave Woman Podcast

For the final episode of Season 4, we dive into the problem most women face in relationship: how to get your needs met. Women have been conditioned to be self-sacrificing martyrs, putting their own needs last. As women wake up and start to find their voice and power, they begin to reclaim their needs ... but it feels like a fight. You'll learn the single most important thing you must do to get your needs met without feeling selfish.

Mother Nature is our guide. The concepts of slowing down, replenishing, and listening to our body's needs are highly undervalued and have been viewed as inconvenient or unproductive in our Western culture. We receive constant messages from society such as work hard, play hard, you can rest when you're dead, don't be so lazy, or push through the pain. Through these messages, we've learned to ignore the wisdom of our bodies and disregard our fundamental need for rest and recovery. In this episode, Amy Natalie shares the secret to getting back in touch with the wisdom of our bodies to create a life of pleasure, aliveness, and vitality. Amy Natalie has launched her debut book, "The Feminine Way: Reclaim your Feminine Energy to Create a Life of Pleasure, Aliveness, and Vitality".

Most medicine women, healers, and visionary leaders would rather work with clients than do marketing. Yet the pressure to build their businesses to earn more money makes them susceptible to the latest bright shiny offers (like starting a membership or running ads or creating a course) because they feel like they must do something. Stepping into your sovereignty starts with claiming that you can be a spiritual business owner and working a strategy based on your divine feminine business archetype.

What does it mean to be truly free as a woman? And as a coach or healer, how do you guide a woman to embody that? More than ever, women are coming into their power and claiming their needs and desires. If you are a coach or healer, you have an extraordinary opportunity to guide women out of the patriarchal cage and into divine feminine freedom by understanding what keeps women blocked and how to release it.

Discover exactly what it'll take for you personally to become financially free so you don't have to depend on your business, a job, the government, a partner, or anyone else for money. You'll also learn: • The Two Types of Passive Income (and How to Get More of Each) • Why It's Important to Create a Clear Financial Freedom Vision • 3 Keys to Accelerating Your Journey to Financial Freedom • Simple Steps You Can Take Right Now That Your Future Self Will Thank You for (She'll Have an Abundance of Money and Choice in Her Life!)

Do you mistrust other women? Chances are, you were burned, hurt, ostracized, or cast out as a child by classmates, blood sisters or friends and it's still affecting you as a woman today. Tanya and Tara explore the ways we unwittingly hurt one another and how we can create opportunities for healing instead of perpetuating the sister wound.

Welcome to Season 3! After being in a cocoon for a couple months, I am coming out recharged and ready for the next "season" of my life. As I step into the next level of my leadership to hold two containers, Sistership Circle and De La Diosa, I am committed to showing up consistently as my true self. During this episode, I set an intention for the season and share a very vulnerable goal that will either trigger or inspire you. I hope it is the latter ;)

In the season finale, we recap the heroine's journey we went on together during Season 2. Tanya gives you two powerful rituals to do as part of conscious completion of this process, keeping you consciously aware of who you are as a brave woman leader.

What does it mean for you to be in your unique magic and full feminine power? The patriarchy has conditioned us to act like men, and disregard the divine feminine. This episode is about reclaiming and remembering your feminine super powers. You have the power to create and you get to say how it goes. Tanya shares a powerful story to demonstrate how she shifted her mindset around circumstances that were potentially going to take her out by getting that it was happening for her, not to her, and how you can do the same in the face of any challenge.

In this episode, you'll learn how to shift out of the work hard mentality to receiving more pleasure in your life and everything that you do with tools and practices. Tanya vulnerably shares her own journey with pleasure and how working with her nervous system has been key to expanding her capacity in this area.

In this inspiring episode, Tanya breaks down 4 keys areas where you can reclaim the power of your voice: having hard conversations, setting healthy boundaries, making requests, and sharing your message with the world. With the tools shared, you will walk away feeling empowered to express your truth despite the fear of what other people may think.

How women step out of negative patterns to birth themselves into Sacred Union. When women balance accessing both their sacred fire and water they become integrated and embodied women. In order for women to fully walk in their purpose and sovereignty, they have to be in tune and aware of the signs the body is giving. Doing so will bring equilibrium within and conscious creation of their life and relationships.

We can't talk about the divine feminine without talking about the divine masculine.  This podcast episode explores two main questions: 1) where can I heal that wounded masculine within myself? and 2) how do I come into right relationship with the men in my life?

* How to Receive the Support of the Goddess through Sisterhood * During the heroine's journey, there's a point of surrender where you realize you are not alone and you have the choice to receive support. You can be stubborn and continue to try to force everything to happen on your own, or you can open your heart to the goddess. This is integral to women stepping into their feminine leadership and coming into a new level of embodying the divine. In this episode, you will experience the power of being held and supported so that you can truly show up in your magic.

After examining "The Split" with the feminine over the past 3 episodes, we are transitioning into "The Surrender," regarded as the tipping point for reconnecting with the divine feminine. This part is confronting because it requires letting go of all the judgments - fear, abandonment, guilt, and/or shame - that come up around our identities. And it brings up fear because we don't know what's on the other side of this initiation. The abyss is the fertile void of the feminine where we are in the nothingness. It is in this dark mystery that we can rebirth ourselves as spiritual adults.

It's been dangerous for women to come out of the spiritual closet, especially calling themselves "witches." Many women are disconnected from their spiritual gifts and are terrified of being visible in the expression of those gifts. In this episode, you'll learn a somatic practice to heal your witch would and feel empowered as a woman of the earth who has claimed her magic.

How to Set Healthy Boundaries and Get Your Needs Met. "The Feminine is weak," "My needs don't matter," "My desires are selfish." These are some of the beliefs that women inherit from their mothers.  Instead, what if we believed that all of our needs are met and provided for, that pleasure is our birthright, and that we don't have to give it all up as mothers? This is the context for this episode where we dive into the mother wound, having Patriarchal Sex, and coming into right relationship with your bodies as sacred, where you truly embody the truth that you matter. All of you.

How women can shift from competing to celebrating each other. Women have been pitted against each other for centuries, keeping us separate, disconnected and mistrusting one another.  If we want to see real change in the world, it's up to us. The key is putting down our swords and shields and coming together as a global sisterhood to experience our collective power. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why we mistrust each other, and the damage its done * 5 main "sister wounds" and how to heal them * How the sister wound is insidious in the spiritual community * Where to look within yourself to heal and 2 main questions to ask yourself * How circle plays an integral role in the collective healing process

In the first episode of season 2, Tanya shares the importance of women going on an individual and collective heroine's journey. There is an urgency like never before to shift our internal state. The patriarchy is not outside of you; it is within you. By continuing to give our power away to the authority outside of us, we will never be free. Here are the four areas we must heal to restore the balance of masculine and feminine within ourselves, which will be reflected externally in the world.

We're back! After a year break, Tanya Lynn sets an intention in this episode to go deep in season 2 of The BRAVE Woman Podcast. Following the overturn of Roe V Wade, she shares how now is the time for women to do the inner work and what that looks like to come into our full feminine power.

In the season finale, Tanya shares her biggest takeaways from the podcast, starting with her most controversial episode on vaccines with Dr Sherri Tenpenny (ep 22).  She shares why it's so important for all voices to be heard, and how she as a leader is standing in her truth whilst holding space for different viewpoints. Now more than ever, the world needs more neutral, safe and sacred spaces and this is why circle is the space within which we can collectively come together and heal.
